What bill do you hate paying the most?<\/font><br \/>\nMortgage, because I want so badly to pay it off.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">2. Where&#8217;s the best place to eat a romantic dinner? <\/font><\/p>\n<p>A corner booth in a little Chinese restaurant that&#8217;s unashamedly retro with corny faux South Seas decor, really dim lights, and a flaming pu-pu platter on the table.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">3. Last time you puked from drinking? <\/font><\/p>\n<p>Uh&#8230;when I went to the Medieval Manor with a bunch of people back in the 80&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar? <\/font><\/p>\n<p>Er&#8230;technically there wasn&#8217;t a <u>bar<\/u>, but the &#8220;Tea Party&#8221; out at the 1985 Pagan Spirit Gathering was about as outrageous as I ever got while drunk and in public. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m the only person who could say that. *wry grin*<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">5. Name of your first grade teacher? <\/font><\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Hedine.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">6. What do you really want to be doing right now? <\/font><\/p>\n<p>Answering this survey! I <u>should<\/u> go to bed, I&#8217;ve been up for 20 straight hours now&#8211;and I&#8217;m not even sleepy yet. <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?<\/font><\/p>\n<p> I honestly can&#8217;t remember. &#8220;Anything but this,&#8221; was about the best summary of how I felt growing up.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">8. How many colleges did you attend?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Four, if you count extension (but full-credit) courses at Middlesex Community College (computer programming) and University of Lowell (graduate level acting course).<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">9. Why did you wear that shirt you have on right now?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m wearing two sweatshirts because the temperature in my house is 56 F.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">10. GAS PRICES?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>When considered in relationship to the profits the oil companies are raking in: obscene.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d move to Lincolnville, Maine and take anyone who sincerely wanted to be with me there. (Well, the cats wouldn&#8217;t have an option.)<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay, here we go.&#8221; I got up four hours early to take my dad to the airport.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>How I needed to be sure and not oversleep and fail to take my dad to the airport. I didn&#8217;t sleep very well. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">14. Favorite style of underwear?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Cotton briefs .<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Anything he&#8217;s comfortable in. I like the opposite sex out of his underwear, preferably.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">16. What errand\/chore do you despise?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Mowing the lawns. *groan*<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">17. If you didn&#8217;t have to work, would you volunteer at an art gallery?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I might! I voluntered to help out with the art show at Dead Of Winter II fan convention (for &#8220;Forever Knight&#8221;) and I really enjoyed myself.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">18. Get up early or sleep in?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a trick question. I&#8217;d rather sleep all day and be up all night, but I keep to a very strict schedule. I <u>never<\/u> sleep past whatever wake-up time I&#8217;m set to, no matter how badly I&#8217;ve slept or how late I was up. And I never slog around in jammies, either. It&#8217;s up, dressed, bed made, ready for the day, right away, every day. It&#8217;s not discipline so much as paranoia. I always feel that I could have to go running off to some emergency any minute.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">19. What is your favorite cartoon character?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really care for any kind of cartoons.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">20. Favorite NON sexual thing to do at night with a girl\/guy?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Have a really great conversation about intellectual subjects. <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">21. A secret that you wouldn&#8217;t mind everyone knowing?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>If I wouldn&#8217;t mind everyone knowing, it&#8217;s not a secret.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">22. When did you first start feeling old?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve <u>always<\/u> felt old. But I guess going to my covenmate Jody&#8217;s wake, and seeing him in the casket, when both of us were only 32 years old&#8230;that was a major turning point for me.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">23. Favorite 80&#8217;s movie?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Big Chill&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">24. Your favorite lunch meat?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really eat lunch meat. I love grilled cheese sandwiches, though.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">25. What do you get every time you go into Sam&#8217;s Club\/Costco?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t go there. <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">26. Beach or lake?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Either. They&#8217;re each nice in different ways. I have access to a lake any time; but I live near the ocean and could, with a little more effort, go there any time.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual that was invented?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely, positively. Gee, someone read my mind! I don&#8217;t even believe in monogamy.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">28. How many people do you stalk on Myspace?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>No one so far. I&#8217;m just squatting on my nick on Myspace so far. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get around to it!<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">29. Favorite guilty pleasure?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dark Shadows&#8221; and 1950&#8217;s Biblical epics (Charlton Heston wearing practically nothing in &#8220;Ben Hur&#8221;&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">30. Favorite movie you wouldn&#8217;t want anyone to find out about?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>*heh* I collect &#8220;penis movies&#8221;. If there&#8217;s frontal male nudity in it, I&#8217;ll collect it. Not porn, mind, regular movies with male nudity.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">31. What&#8217;s your drink?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Unsweetened, very strong black tea, cold. Not iced, just cold. I keep two pots in the fridge at all times and drink at least a quart per day.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">32. Cowboys or Indians?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not big on Westerns.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">33. Cops or Robbers?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Ditto for crime movies. I like the &#8220;Law &#038; Order&#8221; shows, though, so I guess I&#8217;d say cops.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">34. Who from high school would you like to run into?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I was pretty miserable in high school&#8211;I&#8217;d be more likely to run away from anyone I knew then. I just had a dream about one of my high school friends, though. I always wondered what happened to her.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>99.5, the new frequency for WCRB, classical music.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">36. Norm or Cliff?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Who???<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Neither.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">38. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Er&#8230;I&#8217;ve made so many relationship mistakes, I am a public menace. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m self-employed and work at home now, so if I see someone sitting across from me, it&#8217;s time for me to start worrying.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t say that in writing. I&#8217;ll end up in Gitmo.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">41. What famous person(s) would you like to have dinner with?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Only ones that wanted to have dinner with me.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">42. What famous person would you like to sleep with?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Only one that seriously wanted to sleep with me. I don&#8217;t fantasize about &#8220;famous people.&#8221; I&#8217;m turned on by other people being attracted to me&#8211;period.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes. There&#8217;s a very exciting story from the shelter I worked in, about that.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">44. Last book you read for real?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>How can you not read a book for real? I read Anne Rice&#8217;s <i>Cry to Heaven<\/i> last fall.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">45. Do you have a teddy bear?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Yep. His name is Oliver. I found him cleaning a room at the shelter and decided we were meant to be together.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">46. Have you ever brushed your teeth?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Once or twice. Try it sometime, it&#8217;s great!<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">47. Somewhere in California you&#8217;ve never been and would like to go?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Not really. I grew up in Spokane, Washington and we took a family vacation down through California one year. We saw lots of cool stuff, but now, you know, I&#8217;ve seen it. I&#8217;m not at all interested in going back.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">48. Number of texts in a day?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>None, but not because I wouldn&#8217;t. I just have no one to text with.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I <u>am<\/u> starting a new career. I wouldn&#8217;t mind a new relationship.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">50. Do you go to church?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Only when I&#8217;m the speaker. (Really.)<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">51. Pencil or pen?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Depends what it&#8217;s for.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">52. What do you want to achieve in life?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>I want to transform global consciousness. (Well, the question doesn&#8217;t say you have to give a practical answer!)<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">53. How old are you?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>50<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#FF0000\">54. Where do you see yourself when you are 40?<\/font><\/p>\n<p>Been there, done that. How about 60? I&#8217;d like to be living in Maine with a successful publishing business and just enough money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gakked from anderyn, who has now kept me up way too late! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vyrdolak.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
